I just got some LR and I've touched a bristleworm twice and it isn't fun at all! I'd like to get some gloves to wear when I move the rock around, I still have to do my aquascaping. What kind of gloves are reef safe and where can I get them from?

I bought a box of elbow length polyethylene gloves from G&E Pharmacy for 12.50. They are kind of thin, and won't last long, but the box has 100 gloves in them. Its been working for me.
Other than that, you could just get gloves from J&L. Several people use those. Only complaint that I've heard of is that it can be a bit clumsy using those since they are a bit thicker, and most people only use one glove while working on the tank... so the other glove is wasted. If you're right handed, maybe find a left handed person and split the cost?

Thanks Richer, I think I'll get those from G&E pharmacy. I'm clumsy as it is, I don't need thick gloves from J&L to make it even harder for me!

Big Al's sells gloves from Tunze that I think are perfect. There is 10 to a bag but I've only used 1 so far. They are reusable.
